OK, enough with the memes. Here is my proposal for forum reconciliations.
All posters will be categorized as either a captain, a horseman, or a normie. When normies like a post, the heart count will increase as usual. However, if captains or horsemen like a post, there will be little captain and horsemen icons that tally those likes.
I think this is compelling enough to get goreo to come back.
normies need to get some sort of internal counter so that if they like too many horseman or captain posts then they get changed to that team.
goofy could proly code it. he could proly code something to make one of those discourse banners that pops up when it happens. like instead of âNewPoster made their first post lets welcome themâ, or âOldPoster made their first post in 6 months lets welcome them backâ, it would be like âNormiePoster has just joined the horseman clique lets welcome them!â
proly takes him a half hour or so to code that up and I will pay his salary which would be around a certain amount if my estimation is correct.
Good idea. Let the reconciliation begin!
Letâs gamify this mf
And introduce a gambling element 
no I always pay for fair work
Goofy you never answered me if you want me to give you 90 bucks
Yeah, thatâs about the size of it. I was wrong, it only took one post.
Fuck you, youâre a horseman now
Iâve been using this name for 20+ years.
Elon can fuck off.
Maybe itâs time to revisit the idea of adding a subforum to the community with minimized moderation, while also tightening up the moderation for the rest of the forum.
That way people could decide for themselves whether (or when) they want to post in threads where decorum is expected and enforced, or in threads where anything goes and there are no consequences for acting like an asshole.
I agree with earlier comments re: a âbenevolent dictatorshipâ. My analogy (which I may have written about before) would be a poker room floorperson. They stay out of the way unless called on to resolve a dispute. Then they make a ruling based on a set of specific rules and general principles, the most important of which is acting in the best interest of the game. The ruling is final, you donât get to whine about it excessively, and you definitely donât get to abuse the floorperson. You can leave if you want, or you can suck it up and put the interests (and the peace) of the community ahead of your personal grievances.
Similarly, we should have moderators who are entrusted to make decisions in the best interests of this community. We really only need one guiding principle or rule: Donât be an asshole. Itâs really not that hard.
I honestly donât remember my position when the subforum idea was considered a couple of years ago. I probably thought it would cause more harm than good. But now maybe its a way to move forward with some sort of compromise.
Looking into it. I think this is fixed.
It is, thank you. Churchâs IP as well?
Should be, yes. At least his most recently used one.
unacceptable! If we have little horsey likes then that should be for pony posts. You can give someone a âponyâ for their pony post instead of responding with a droll pony pun. Normies is good though.
They have their entire own forum to run exactly how they want and they come here to throw poo. Subforum ainât going to work
Normies is pejorative towards team members. That category should be called Rons.
Unrelated, free forechecker!
Nope.
huh, wonder whatâs going on. Targeted amnesty before the coup?
